I had originally set this bowl aside to become a bamboo-shanked pipe, but could never make up my mind what to do with it. Finally, as usual, after the bowl sat on the workbench for about six months, I picked it up one day and saw this shape perfectly. I like the whole idea enough that I intend to make more of these, evolving the design as I go. Positives: The grain on the bowl and "foot" is all excellent with tons of bird's-eye top, bottom, front and back. I haven't used any of this tortoiseshell acrylic material for stems in quite some time, and I'd forgotten how beautiful it is. I'd also forgotten how hard to bend the stuff is! Unlike friendly rubbery ebonite, this acrylic has about a one degree window between when it becomes flexible enough to bend, and when it begins to bubble or just snap. A pipecleaner will pass easily from bit to bowl, and it has an easy, open draw. While I'm sure collectors will either love or hate the styling, at least you won't see anyone else smoking the same thing! It's actually a fairly practical smoke, with nice thick bowl walls and of course it doesn't need a pipe stand. Negatives: The tortoiseshell stem can be brittle material, so I would not recommend this pipe to anyone who clenches hard in their teeth.  Bowl Type: 2 cm conical Airhole Size: 5/32" Total Weight incl Stem: 72.7 grams Bowl Height: 6 cm(Bottom to lowest bowl edge) Tobacco Chamber Depth: 5 cm Length from Bowl Base to end of Bit: 15 cm To Purchase:All Buyers - Email us and reference this catalog number - Pogo.
